Description
Pumpkin Fluff is a no-bake, light, and creamy dessert that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin, vanilla pudding, and spices, all topped off with airy whipped topping. It’s perfect for fall gatherings, potlucks, or as a dip, mousse, or pie filling.
Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (unprepared)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or apple slices for dipping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree and dry vanilla pudding mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and brown sugar (if using). Taste and adjust spices as needed. Optionally, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger for extra warmth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until no streaks remain, ensuring the texture stays light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and deepen the flavors, though it can be served immediately if preferred.
- Spoon into bowls or a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or an extra dollop of whipped topping if desired. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or apple slices for dipping.
Notes
For a spicier flavor, add ground ginger, cloves, or nutmeg.
Sweeten with maple syrup or honey instead of brown sugar for a richer flavor.
For a crunchy texture, fold in crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
To make it vegan, use dairy-free whipped topping and check the pudding mix for vegan-friendly ingredients.
For a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips or drizzle with melted chocolate on top.
Use this fluff as a no-bake pie filling by pouring it into a pre-baked graham cracker crust and chilling it.
